Do you know you can add new member to your wordpress without even visiting your WordPress website? Sound unreal? yeah. but here is an example that shows how you can use  WishList Member reset Interface to insert a user into your WordPress remotely.

Try following code, remember to replace your site url and your Wishlist Member Secret Word.
Example: http://screencast.com/t/Cq8sMmkwF

Ok here is a example code to insert a member into your WordPress remotely by using WishList member REST API interface.

<?php
/*
Example by Andy ( hecode.com)

AddUser( string $username, string $email, string $password, [string $firstname=''], [string $lastname=''] )

Add a new user to WishList Member. This functions requires 5 parameters:

   1. string $username the username for the new user
   2. string $email  the email address for the new user
   3. string $password  the password for the new user
   4. string $firstname  the first name of the new user
   5. string $lastname  the last name of the new user
*/
$Fxn = 'AddUser';
$username="andydepp";
$email="andy@example.com";
$password="mypassword";
$firstname="Andy";
$lastname="Depp";
//echo $URL;

$params = array ($username,$email,$password,$firstname,$lastname);
$Key = md5 ($Fxn . '__' . $Secret . '__' . implode ('|',$params));

$URL="http://wp3db.com/?WLMAPI=$Fxn/$Key/$username/$email/$password/$firstname/$lastname";

$ch = curl_init ($URL);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$RESTReturn = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);


echo '<br /> return value=' . $RESTReturn ."<br />";

list ($status, $return) = unserialize ($RESTReturn);
 if ($status) {
 // successful- do something useful here
 var_dump ($return);
 } else {
 // failed, show error message
 echo $return;
 }
?>

Note: If your secret word or parameters or order of parameters are wrong you will get a message like a:2:{i:0;b:0;i:1;s:20:”AUTHORIZATION FAILED”;}

If everything was fine you will get a message like:

return value=a:2:{i:0;b:1;i:1;i:5;}
int(5)

That shows new user with user id = 5 is created.

Wishlist Member have a API that allow us to take control of WordPress core functions and do what we want by using simple line of code. but that is not all. You can do even  control your WordPress remotely. How it feel to add a new member ship level to your current WordPress member from another website? possibles are unlimited. Fortunately it is very simple than you think. here are an example to show you how you can do it yourself.

The same functions available to WishList Member extensions can be made available to remote applications via a simple to use REST interface. This allows developers to create a lot of different applications that control a particular WishList Member powered website remotely.

Lets start:

Silver user have no level    http://screencast.com/t/OJyWmWyrNjnl

I want to add Silver level to this user remotely.

<?php
$Fxn = 'AddUserLevels';
$Secret = 'BIKLOQRhGKLManqs';
$txnid="my-txnid-999";
$user=2;
$params = array ($user,1288000826,$txnid);
$Key = md5 ($Fxn . '__' . $Secret . '__' . implode ('|',$params));

$URL="http://example.com/?WLMAPI=$Fxn/$Key/$user/1288000826/$txnid";

//echo $URL;

$ch = curl_init ($URL);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$RESTReturn = curl_exec($ch);      
curl_close($ch);


echo '<br /> return value=' . $RESTReturn ."<br />";

list ($status, $return) = unserialize ($RESTReturn);
 if ($status) {
 // successful do something useful here
 var_dump ($return);
 } else {
 // failed, show error message
 echo $return;
 }

?>

Simply create a php file with name addlevel.php and copy past similar code. We need copy our file to a php enabled server and run it.

by visiting our file url ( for example Http://example.com/addlevel.php) , Silver user will be added to “silver” Member ship level remotely.
Example: http://screencast.com/t/9JfscW39Qaf

How it works?

A) We want to call “AddUserLevels” remotely.  You can call this function to add a level right inside your wordpress theme or plugin cod when wishlist member plugin is activated. but here we want to call it from another website or perhaps a standalone php file that have nothing to do with our wordpress installation.

B) What we need is user id (which is 2 here) and level silver level id (which is 1288000826 here) . we also need Secret Word that you can get from Wishlist member integration tab.

Example: http://screencast.com/t/Cq8sMmkwF

Txnid is your shopping cart transaction_id, It can be anything at our example.

C) Replace your own similar variables. If you save it and run it. You will see a message like a:2:{i:0;b:1;i:1;b:1;} that shows result is successful.

If you echo $url value, you will see a url like

http://example.com/?WLMAPI=AddUserLevels/d8feb2f5ff2add0c558e768a4d6581b1/2/1288000826/my-txnid-999

Just   visiting above url is enough to add our user to silver level. we used curl to make it happen from inside our code.

Note: if your secret word or parameters are wrong you will get a message like a:2:{i:0;b:0;i:1;s:20:”AUTHORIZATION FAILED”;}

Note. Order of parameters are important.

More information can be found at Wishlistmember API Quide.

WishList Member is a powerful WordPress plugin that allow to protect WordPress contents such as post or even files by adding levels to WordPress users.   It have friendly user interface and easy to us.  But you can go farther to do whatever you want using Wishlist member API.  Here I want to show you how easy you can add new levels directly from code.

Example code:

$my_user_id=2;

$mywlmapi= new WLMAPI();

echo "<h3>1) we want to see user levels </h3>";
echo "<pre>";
$my_user_levels=$mywlmapi->GetUserLevels($my_user_id );
var_dump( $my_user_levels);
echo "</pre>";

echo "<h3>2) we want see all levels details </h3>";
echo "<pre>";
$my_all_levels=$mywlmapi->GetLevels();
var_dump( $my_all_levels);
echo "</pre>";

echo "<h3>3) we want to add a levels </h3>";
echo "<br><pre>";
$AddUserLevelsresult=$mywlmapi->AddUserLevels($my_user_id, array('1288000851'));
var_dump( $AddUserLevelsresult);
echo "</pre>";

echo "<h3>4) again we want to see user levels </h3>";
echo "<pre>";
$my_user_levels=$mywlmapi->GetUserLevels($my_user_id );
var_dump( $my_user_levels);
echo "</pre>"; 

And here is example  output

1) we want to see user levels

array(1) {
[1288000826]=>
string(6) "silver" <-------- user with id=2 only have one level with level id= 1288000826 which is silver level
}

2) we want see all levels details

array(2) {
[1288000826]=>

}
[1288000851]=> <----------- Golden level id that we want add it to user levels
array(10) {
["wpm_newid"]=>
string(10) "1288000851"

["levelOrder"]=>
string(0) ""
["count"]=>
string(1) "1"
["ID"]=>
int(1288000851)
}
}

3) we want to add a levels

bool(true) <--- level is added with no problem

4) again we want to see user levels

array(2) {
[1288000826]=>
string(6) "silver"
[1288000851]=>
string(6) "golden" <-------- user now have two levels, silver and golden
}

Wonder what is Wishlist member wordpress plugin and what it can do?  check here

I created this page to answer your all kind of  questions about Wishlist Member WordPress plugin. Do you have any difficulty getting most of WishList member? Wonder how other site used Wishlist member and you wish to know that? Newbie and advanced  questions  are welcome. I answer all type of related question. Feel free to ask you question via comment.

Thank you.

I know how it feel, like no one know the solution. You like to pay everything you have, to find out why you can not login into your wordpress from wp-admin. And if you do it will redirect to same page without showing any message. but same time you can login into your wordpress from wp-login.php.  Sometime clearing the browser’s cookies might let us login again but to be honest it’s a pain, and clearing your cookies isn’t a permanent fix and do not work everyone.

Answer is easy when you know the following two solutions.

Solution1:  At   WordPress admin–> Settings–> General Settings:

“WordPress address (URL)”  should be same as “Blog address (URL)”  You will love this simple tip if you are using Wishlist member wordpress plugin. because no one know this except you and me!

Solution2:  Fixing  issue with cookies.

problem is that occasionally on our various WordPress sites the wp-admin.php URL login stops working and we can only login through wp-login.php.

What we need to do is to force WordPress to follow the correct cookie path. This can be done by adding a small line of code to the wp-config.php file located in your WordPress installation root directory.

Open up wp-config.php in your web editor and add this:

/** wp-admin login fix */
@define('ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH', '/');


If you’re unsure, it can go just before the ?> at the end of the php code like so:

/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');
/** wp-admin login fix */
@define('ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH', '/');
?>

Update:  Some reported WP Security Scan case this issue. Please test and confirm in comments if you are using WP Security Scan wordpress plugin.

Not everybody knows English.  Take advantage of your second language to enjoy more fresh members at your WordPress membership site.  Learn how to translate your WordPress and Wishlist member wordpress plugin to none English language. You can even translate your site to more than one language at same time. Here is how to do this.

You have two option to translate your membership website. I explain both ways:

How to translate Wishlist Member when your site have only one none-english language?

Step I. Creating the correct language file

1. Download poEdit at www.poedit.net
2. Open the file po file /plugins/wishlistmember/lang/wishlist-member-en_US.po
3. Click File -> Save As and change en_US to anything you want (i.e. de for German) so that the filename becomes something like wishlist-member-de.po
4. Translate
5. Click File -> Save at same path

This now generates the correct .po and .mo files for your language.

Step II. Tell WordPress to use your language file

1. Edit wp-config.php
2. Locate the line that says: define (‘WPLANG’, ”);
3. Change it to: define (‘WPLANG, ‘de’);
(Note, use whatever language code you used when you made your translation)
4. Save wp-config.php

That’s all. enjoy your Membership website powered by WordPress and Wishlist member at your own language.

Your site support more than one language at same time.

Step I and II. Creating the correct language files

Same of above create po files for languages you need.

Step III. Writing same post/page at more than one language

You need to install the free Q-Translate plugin for WordPress. This plugin allow to write your post at more than one language. Simply you will have a multi  language membership website.
